We develop and maintain products and services in collaboration with representatives from manufacturers, retailers, healthcare institutions, wholesalers, logistics service providers, and implementation partners.
To ensure that GS1's efforts align with the sector's needs, we establish agreements with other organizations regarding product identification and the capture and sharing of product data. Healthcare institutions, pharmaceutical and medical device suppliers, and software providers are involved in these efforts.
Practical experiences are also essential. That's why we collaborate with the steering group for the Uniform Dataset, integrating real-world experiences into our work.
